Tuesday Rambling 1.21.14 – Ways To Affirm Life, and a Financial Quote

Football, Sanctity of Human Life, or Martin Luther King Jr: Which is most important?

Seriously, do you ever wish some of the truly important things would generate more discussion, rather than the latest mistake by a professional athlete? Speaking of . . .

Sanctity of Human Life

In 2013, I was called “offensive” for suggesting that life begins at conception.

If the child in the womb has brain waves, can feel pain, has a heartbeat, all within the first trimester, isn’t it really a child?

Further, if the only way a baby in a womb comes about is by a strictly human process using uniquely human cells, how can it be anything but a human?

Ways to affirm life: call your representatives and tell them your views; encourage pregnancy center workers with calls, emails, or lunch; develop a relationship with an elderly shut-in person; open your home for foster-care or adoption; pray for those opposed to God’s plans!

This Came Out of My Mouth Today – a Financial Quote:

It is much harder to put yourself into financial discipline than it is to reason your way into debt.

What Makes Your Faith Tick?

For me, one of the things that generates the most energy in my relationship with Christ is seeing brand new Christians and intentional growth from other Christians.

There is no substitute for seeing people genuinely respond to God’s movement in their lives.
